The epidemiology and natural history of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are different. The thoracic aortic diameter is dependent on age and body habitus as well as the level at which it is measured. Average diameters are 2.1 cm/m2 for the ascending thoracic aorta, and 1.6 cm/m2 for the descending thoracic aorta, giving approximate thresholds for the diagnosis of a TAA of 40 mm and 35 mm, respectively. AAAs are defined by a diameter >30 mm and are mainly infrarenal, with only 2%–5% in a suprarenal position.
